by Matthew Reilly
I really enjoy Reilly's writing style. He really knows how to keep the action going and he creates some crazy fabulous scenes. The Temple was no different - action packed all the way. The only negative I have about it is I thought there one too many groups competing for the supernova and also I thou...
Linguist William Race gets suckered into translating a rare 16th century manuscript in order to locate an idol carved from an extraterrestrial substance more powerful than uranium or plutonium that was hidden by the Incas in the wake of the Spanish conquest of 1532.

The only clue to the idol's final resting place lies in a 400-yea...
a real page turner
From page one, I found the urge to keep reading impossible to resist. Reilly has a very in your face style when it comes to violence, so a reader should be prepared. And good men do die in this book.
